A voter may apply for an absentee ballot by completing an Absentee Ballot Application and mailing the application to their County Clerk by mail up to 7 days prior to the election. A voter may also apply in person to the County Clerk until 3:00 p.m., the day before the election. The County Clerk cannot accept faxed copies of an Absentee Ballot Application since an original signature is required.

Absentee ballots may be returned to the office of the County Clerk either in person or by mail. In order to be counted, the completed absentee ballot must be received no later than 8:00 PM (close of the polls) the day of the election.

For more election and voter information, you can contact the New Jersey Secretary of State’s website.
